Ahead of their next clash with more left-leaning insurgents in November, Democratic Party loyalists celebrated their resurgence in the primary at the annual Brady Bash.
NORTH WILDWOOD — With an eight-piece band on stage, a view of the ocean outside, an open bar, and a buffet, hundreds of Philadelphia elected officials, Democratic ward leaders and other politicos gathered Saturday at a Jersey Shore bar for Brady Bash, an annual party hosted by the longtime chair of theMuch of Philadelphia’s political establishment heads down the Atlantic City Expressway for the summer, and Democratic Party loyalists had a lot to celebrate while down the Shore this year.
The success of this year’s party-backed candidates, who for the most part are political moderates unlikely to break the mold in City Hall, represented a pause in the growth of Philly’s progressive movement and also kept a slate of real estate- and business community-aligned Council candidates on the sidelines.
Parker, who made a brief appearance and gave the only speech of the event, thanked the crowd for their support in the primary, when she emerged from a large field and bested more liberal candidates in what turned out to be the most expensive election in Philadelphia history. “We’re not trying to. The purpose is to get together and have fun,” he said. “It’s a fun spot. It’s very, very reasonable. You get all you can eat, all you can drink, and the food is good, not bad.”The event has turned into an all-weekend affair for some, with Sabatina hosting a “low-country boil” after-party at his home in Wildwood Crest and City Commissioner Lisa Deeley hosting a brunch the day after at Keenan’s in North Wildwood.
There were even several Republicans, including Council candidate Drew Murray. Murray and fellow GOP nominee Jim Hasher are running against two candidates from the progressive Working Families Party, Nicolas O’Rourke and incumbent Kendra Brooks, for two Council at-large seats that are reserved for members of minority parties or independents.
